Yamaha Rajdoot 350 2025 — The Legendary Bike in Modern Way Paying homage to the legendary Rajdoot 350—and therefore at least originally, Yamaha’s RD350 as sold in India—this latest model mixes old-school looks with modern engineering to transform into a retro-modern cruiser.
Heritage Look with Modern Design
Design wise, the new Rajdoot carries the same signature design language featuring round headlamp, teardrop fuel tank, twin exhausts and low-slung silhouette. To that end, it gets LED DRLs and tail light, spoke-alloy wheels, dual-tone paint finishes as well as chrome accents to give the scooter more of a premium appeal. This is some kind of retro charm slick for 2025.
Modern Engine: Power Meets Efficiency
It is built around a 349cc liquid-cooled single that replaces the original’s 2-stroke twin. 30–40 PS and 28–32 Nm torque, while offering an easyto-drive experience with good bottom-end power. Now, it’s tuned for roughly 30–35 km/l mileage that should offer a decent mix of nostalgia and practicality.
Tech That Respects Its Roots
While there are shades of a classic styling in the new Rajdoot, some smart upgrades have been added that give this bike a modern appeal:
- In terms of safety, the Okinawa Ridge+ gets both front and rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS.
- Partial digital or TFT auto console with Bluetooth connectivity offers|inheritDoc pack
- USB charging port, side-stand cut-off
- Ride-by-wire throttle, traction control and optional quick-shifter
The car keeps its heritage and still usable in the city due to these features.
Ride & Ergonomics For Roads Of Today
This bike has nostalgic upright ergonomics, spoked aesthetic and easy throttle unit. The suspension is upgraded — Upside-down front forks and adjustable rear mono-shock give a more controlled, smoother ride. A slipper clutch and 5-/6-speed gearboxes round out the goods on deck.
Value Proposition in Its Segment
Priced at 2.1–2.5 lakh ex-showroom, the Rajdoot 350 is going to sit just a notch above its direct rivals like Royal Enfield Classic 350 or Honda H’ness CB350. However, its twin-cylinder engine, retro-styling, modern kit and Yamaha dependability put it in good stead to fight the dominance of the wanna-be harleys.
Owners & Enthusiast Reviews
With the minor excesses mentioned, Reddit community feedback on the vintage Rajdoots seems a tad enthusiastic, though it could be just us.
But this bike has come with a fair bit of charm and its apparently worth restoring properly….
The original is criticized for bad gas mileage and high maintenance; hence the alluring cleaner, newer design of 2025.
Final Verdict
In 2025, Yamaha will be selling a new generation of the Rajdoot 350 at its dealerships in India that offers an interesting mix of nostalgia with modern levels of performance and usability. It comes with signature style, a very good engine and modern tech—all bundled in an attractive price. This reborn Rajdoot is equally enjoyable for the nostalgic recall or the new discovery, its stylish performance satisfying riders of all tastes.
